For Web programming languages, JavaScript is the most widely used language past HTML itself. And if you’re learning JavaScript, you will also need to familiarize yourself with a JavaScript Library known as jQuery.
Simply put, jQuery helps you write less and do more. The library was developed by John Resig, an expert in the JavaScript programming language, and presented in 2006’s BarCamp NYC gathering.

These can be found on the official jQuery UI (User Interface) repository and are curated by jQuery’s professional community. Some of the most useful jQuery plugins include Effect, TaggingJS, Autocomplete, Scrollmagic, Fine Uploader, Blueimp Gallery, Slick, AnimateScroll, and Infinite AJAX Scroll.
